From Wikipedia:
I-40 enters Tennessee via the six lane Hernando de Soto Bridge, a tied-arch bridge which spans the Mississippi River at river mile 736 and has a total length of approximately 1.8 miles (2.9 km). Immediately within the city of Memphis, the interstate crosses the southern half of Mud Island before crossing the Wolf River Harbor and Mississippi Alluvial Plain into downtown Memphis, where the bridge ends. Throughout Memphis, the highway contains a minimum of six through lanes, except through major interchanges. Upon reaching Memphis, the highway immediately has an interchange with U.S. Route 51 (US 51, Danny Thomas Boulevard), and one mile (1.6 km) after entering the city, abruptly turns north at an interchange with the western terminus of I-240, a southern bypass route around Memphis. About one mile (1.6 km) later, it has an interchange with State Route 14 (SR 14, Jackson Avenue), and about two miles (3.2 km) beyond this point, the highway crosses the Wolf River and has an interchange with the eastern terminus of SR 300, a controlled-access connector to US 51. At this interchange, the interstate turns due east, bypassing the central part of Memphis to the north.

Passing first near the neighborhoods of Frayser and Raleigh, about five miles (8.0 km) later, I-40 crosses the Wolf River for a second time as the highway turns southeast, and has an interchange with SR 14 again. Two miles (3.2 km) later is an interchange with SR 204 (Covington Pike). About two miles (3.2 km) beyond this point, the interstate reaches a complex four-level stack interchange with US 64/US 70/US 79 (Summer Avenue) and the eastern termini of I-240 and Sam Cooper Boulevard, and turns northeast. I-40 leaves Memphis at this point, crossing the Wolf River for a third and final time about 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) later. For the next several miles the highway carries eight lanes, with the left lanes serving as HOV lanes during rush hour. This segment passes through multiple major suburbs of Memphis, including Bartlett, Cordova, and Lakeland. About 7 miles (11 km) later, the highway reaches an interchange with US 64, where it narrows to six lanes, and to four lanes a short distance beyond. About 8 miles (13 km) later, in Arlington, is a cloverleaf interchange with the eastern terminus of I-269 and the western terminus of SR 385.
